As a commoner, Luo Chen had a sense of distance towards the first-rank military marquis.

A general who commands all four directions should be a man who is good at strategizing, serious, and even ruthless.

Only this kind of person can stand on the battlefield and watch the blood flow like a river without changing color.

But this time, Mu Rong standing in front of Luo Chen gave him a different understanding.

When talking about the layout, he was indeed as Luo Chen imagined, planning and strategizing.

Not knowing whether the other party was coming for him or not, he seemed to be prepared.

When the question of whether this would alert the enemy was raised, a hint of coldness appeared on his face, as he could control everyone's life in the blink of an eye.

But despite this, Luo Chen actually saw warmth in the Marquis's eyes.

That... shouldn't be the demeanor that belongs at this moment, right?

"Why are you stunned?" Mu Rong looked at Luo Chen and said.

Luo Chen came back to his senses. "The Great Zhou is vast and rich in resources. Apart from the places that have revealed clues so far, I need to send people to investigate other places. The merchants will not alert the enemy when they travel around."

Mu Rong was silent for a moment.

For him, the Mu family army was stationed in various places. Although they could pass on the news from the army in a timely manner, the recruitment of private soldiers was secretive, and it was difficult for the Mu family army to get the news.

In addition, the Mu family army is good at fighting, but they have too strong a military aura. If they rely on them to gather information aimlessly, they will inevitably be exposed early.

In this comparison, it is indeed the traveling merchants who are more secure.

What's more... he also wanted to take the opportunity to see Luo Chen's abilities.

In his previous life, he had never seen Luo Chen.

But he had heard from Mu Yi that after Luo Shu and Wen Yao's ashes were brought back, Luo Chen disappeared in despair.

At that time, he felt guilty towards Xu Rongrong and despised his own actions, so he forced himself to put this person and this matter out of his mind.

After being reborn, he saw Xu Rongrong using Luo Chen, and knew that she also wanted to make up for the regrets of her previous life, so he did not stop her, and even helped her secretly.

But this time, Luo Chen discovered the abnormality of Jiangnan Dao, which made him think: If he could use this incident to verify Luo Chen's ability, it would be beneficial in the future.

So, he nodded and said, "Okay, but remember not to go too deep. The merchants are not good at fighting, and the other side has strong private soldiers. If you find anything suspicious, please inform me in time, and someone will naturally take care of the rest."

"I saved it." Luo Chen replied, "The Marquis just said that he would arrange for someone to go to Jiangnan. I wonder who it is?"

"Mu Wu." Mu Rong did not hide it, "He is one of my personal guards."

Luo Chen was stunned when he heard this.

Mu Rong narrowed his eyes: "What? Is it wrong?"

"The situation in the capital is unclear. If the Marquis sends his personal guards out at this time, how will the Marquis... and the county lady's safety be handled?"

Mu Rong looked at Luo Chen's expression and said calmly, "Are you worried that I can't protect my wife?"

Luo Chen did not answer.

"Don't worry, Mu Wu is good at hiding and is calm in his work. There is no one more suitable than him." Mu Rong paused, "As for the safety of my wife... I have waited for so many years to be able to stand by her side, so I will naturally do my best to protect her."

"She won't be in any danger at all."

The confidence he spoke made Luo Chen inexplicably feel a sense of trust.

"In that case, I'll arrange it now."

Mu Rong nodded lightly, and then added another sentence.

I don't know if I'm talking to Luo Chen or telling myself:

"This decisive battle...will soon be over."
